Expression of Nestin associates with BRCA1 mutations, a basal-like phenotype and aggressive breast cancer

Abstract We here examined whether Nestin, by protein and mRNA levels, could be a predictor of BRCA1 related breast cancer, a basal-like phenotype, and aggressive tumours. Immunohistochemical staining of Nestin was done in independent breast cancer hospital cohorts (Series I-V, total 1257 cases). Als...
